"The Armenian leadership spares no effort to resolve the conflict peacefully," Seyran Ohanyan said at a meeting with students and teaching staff of State Agrarian University of Armenia. "Armenia maintains the balance of forces thanks to constant modernization of defense technology and armament. By well-known reasons, Armenia and Azerbaijan have different financial capabilities. But a similar situation was in 1992-1993, when Armenian armed forces defeated the enemy and ensured security of the nation. We have advantages at the frontline. The March 4 events proved that Armenian servicemen can rebuff any aggression," he said, Novosti Armenia reports.
